I've no respect for authority
I don't expect the kids to understand
Least of all when it's comin' from me
I hate my food when it comes from the man
I never meant to live this life
I never meant to play this role
I don't want to sell them out
I just want to give them rock n' roll

They blindly follow
Where we blindly lead
I just want to show them truth and light
I just want them to love me

I've no respect for the useless
Least of all my life
I'm prepared not to use it
No, now that's a lie
I wasn't born to waste it
Every breath is a gift
Even when I'm used up and wasted
I still want to live

Been in this college town for too many years,
(I'm too tired, I'm cynical)
Take me away from here

Track Name: ...And Always Shall Be

if you don’t want to be there
then just walk away
i knew a guy who could talk his way
but it’s scary to rely on words
they’re the only way to really hurt
and they can and will be written down
and remind you of where you were
and how it felt to be stung
or how it felt to be the one
who did the stinging
so come home with me now
i don’t wanna see anybody left out
you can walk away from this emotion
but remember where you were
when first i called you near
cause remembering will take all your devotion
if you don’t want this pain
then just chop away
I knew a guy who could really cut
but it’s scary to rely on knives
they're the only way to spill your life
and they can and will be whittled down
and remind you of where it hurts
and how it felt when they cut in
or how it felt to be the one
who did the cutting
if you don’t want this life
then just give it up
I knew a guy who could give it all
but it’s scary to rely on faith
it’s the only way to say
all that can and will be written down
and remind you of who you were
and how it felt to be safe
and how it felt to touch the one
who did the saving

Track Name: Purple Pajamas

She's foreign but you can't really tell
New place this time - a sun-filled room
You look different, I think it's time
you close your eyes, under your hair yea

But you call me and say I'm a fool
For telling you now I don't feel so cool
Please don't go away from me one more time

If you wake up I'll make you some pancakes
Not the crappy kind with just water
The sunlight through the window reminds me
That I'm still alive

See you smilin' with your dark glasses and dark hair
I don't expect this to end tonight
Looking through the blinds
But I hear the sound of fate in me

I love you and you love me
You're wearin' your purple pajamas yea
The blanket's inviting although
It's not cold out, it's not cold out

I reach around to tickle you and I hope I find
The warm embrace of you - a girl that's completely mine
She's waiting patiently and quietly next in line
we're goin' to the movies at ten past nine
They gave us coupons so we'll go and save us some cash
We'll take our time to make the money and evening last
Hanging out with you is such a blast - until 4AM

Cold on the couch, alone in the dark
I wanna go back, but I try and I fail
I'm not sad, but I write it down
Before I forget it all

Close my eyes and I'm back in the room with you
just glad I got another night with you
God, don't let me forget
God, don't let me obsess
NOW
NOW

Purple pajamas... purple pajamas...
yeah

Track Name: Believe

Ya know nothing seems to change
put your car in gear and drive it around
ya know nothing seems to change
ya gotta go and make amends for you and no one else

you know I believe
that it was meant to be, yeah
I said I believe
close your eyes in sanctity
GO!

How can I put it?
you know I don't want to hurt you
I wanna be as nice as I can
you know sometimes it's hard, just to be a man
you know I believe
that it was meant to be, yeah
I said I believe
seems to me, it's plain to see
GO!

It's easy for me to say
these things I feel for you
you gotta be quiet sometimes
just to make these things all work out

you know I believe
that it was meant to be, yeah
I said I believe
try to face the point one more time

you know I believe
that it was meant to be, yeah
I said I believe
it just feels like it's never, it's never enough
GO GO GO!

Track Name: Head

This is the song that gets stuck in your head
Most songs like these are filled up with lies
This is a song that’s filled up with truth
So please remove the scales from your eyes

Truly all my best hours were wasted
Coming up with ways just to pass the time
Truly all my best hours were wasted
Trying just to make words rhyme

Truly all my best hours were wasted
Spending all my energy resisting the crime
Truly all my best hours were wasted
Trying just to read the signs

This is truth... You’re Loved

If humanity is all there is then kill me now
Cause I don’t wanna live where selfishness is king
Feed me on truth, truth absolute, absolutely
I could never bear it if I encompassed everything

I spent all my years just living in darkness
Now here I am bursting with joy
Peace, patience, kindness, forgiveness, love
Good, gentle, faith, self control from above
These are the good things given to me
This is the day that you can be free, this is
